Biography
Ted Seidelbaum worked for Miami law enforcement as an undercover cop, and he posed as a money launderer. In 1983, Tony Montana's right-hand man Manny Ribera contacted Seidelbaum about becoming Montana's new banker, and Seidelbaum was given $1.3 million in cash to convert into cashier's checks. The conversation was recorded by a hidden camera in a clock, and Seidelbaum had Montana arrested for money laundering and tax evasion, exposing his true loyalties. Montana faced three years in prison as a result of the bust, although his presumed death led to the charges being dropped.
